Tag Info

I've rolled back that edit, for two reasons:
It broke the link section. No actual new link reference had been added, so each link would now load the next URL in the list listed.
The blog post linked is a blatant copyright infringing copy (from this tutorial). It is indeed a spam link, aiming to farm advertisement impressions.
The original section was ...

Was I wrong?
No.
That's way too broad a question, no doubt about it. Stack Overflow's not meant to replace a whole language's docs, certainly not in one single question.
The answer could indeed be part of the tag's wiki once the tag is established though.
I apparently became an idiot.
Welcome to the club!

If you use content you previously published elsewhere, there are two ways to go about it:
Do full-disclosure that you are the author and where you previously published it. Beware of excessive self-promotion though.
(Only for tag-wiki's) Explicitly and unambiguously mention the source and that it's your own in the edit-summary, but not in the post itself.
...

This sounds like a good idea to me - if a reviewer marking a suggested edit as plagiarism (with source indicated) and this flag appeared automatically for subsequent reviewers (i.e. without having to bring up the "Reject" dialog first), this could help get more bad tag wiki edits rejected.
Note, this user has a bunch more plagiarism edits that have gotten ...

All content is licensed under the Creative Commons license, including tag wikis.
That means you can copy tag wiki text across verbatim, provided you give attribution. Tag wikis are collaborative efforts and no author information is publicly displayed, reducing the attribution requirements somewhat.
Personally, I think it is fine to put the attribution in ...

I propose a simple additional rule so that it doesn't adversely affect low-volume tags:
If any gold badge has been issued in the tag, all edits must originate from or be approved by at least one user with either
bronze badge in the tag, or
listed in all-time top 20 (?) users in the tag
There might be a need for suggested wiki edits to actually trigger ...

The proper thing for the OP to have done would have been to tackle standard programming problems in Dao (tagged with dao-lang) and then used the opportunity to create the tag wiki into which he could put the proper (not plagiarized) information.
The question, as asked and answered was not a good fit for the style of Q&A that is within the scope of Stack ...

This looks like a bug to me too.
In excerpts, no formatting is allowed. Unfortunately, it looks like text in angle brackets is simply removed altogether, and using &lt;textarea&gt; just produces the literal text.
With the field being treated as plain text, angle brackets should be escaped using &lt; and &gt; on display, not stripped.

Here is my take on the wiki for the tag onedrive
OneDrive (formerly known as SkyDrive, Windows Live SkyDrive, and Windows Live Folders) is a file hosting service that allows users to upload and sync files to a cloud storage and then access them from a web browser or their local device.
You can use this tag on questions that are about programming with the ...

Because current behavior is that when a tag gets destroyed, its wiki and excerpt remain intact, as in the posts themselves do not get deleted along with the tag. Since they are not deleted and are just lingering out in the void of Stack Exchange partial-existence, the reputation from suggested edits on them does not get removed. This oddness causes other ...

I agree.
At the bare minimum snapshot should have a tag info and further it should be only for one use case. In this case I'm afraid that it'll still remain too ambiguous even adding the tag info - its too broad and should be replaced by more context specific tags:
database-snapshot for database related questions.
filesystem-snapshot for filesystem ...

The reviewers must not have been paying attention and did not realise this was a tag wiki edit. If you look at it as a question or answer edit, you can see why it might have been rejected.
I've applied a variant of your edit; CSV does not strictly mean 'comma separated' anymore, although the name does imply that.

I can't blame the robo reviewers for signing off on this mass update as they see each edit individually. If the content has passed a large enough audience to be deemed acceptable to Wikipedia then chances stand SO's audience (assuming there is a lot of overlap between these forums) would like it as well.
If you really want to stop people from doing a mass ...

This has been "fixed" as @animuson ♦ has made an edit. It now goes to http://meta.stackoverflow.com/posts/274599/revisions.
However, the root issue has not yet been fixed and appears on other sites. See this post on meta.SE.

I'd argue that the edit of @me how would have been good and should be applied. According to the tag wiki guidelines:
Avoid generically defining the concept behind a tag, unless it is highly specialized. The “email” tag, for example, does not need to explain what email is. I think we can safely assume most internet users know what email is; there’s no ...

Yes that is correct, and you'll see this in action in the Suggested Edits review queue where each is independently reviewed.
But why is it treated as two edits?
Because the excerpt is shown separately from the main tag description
and is edited independently:

Suggested edits give you 2 rep per accepted edit, but only up to a maximum of 1000 rep, as explained in How Does Reputation Work.
Given a total of 657 suggestions, I would be surprised if you haven't hit 500 accepted suggestions. In fact, a quick check learns you have had 607 accepted. So you probably haven't lost reputation, you simply aren't getting any ...

The issue is that many people who review these things can't scour the internet for every source of plagarism. Easy to find things like Wikipedia might be more readily identified but... if it's good enough for Wikipedia, chances are it'll pass the smell test for the majority of reviewers. We can say reviewers should be held to higher standards but they ...

In my opinion it is an eye sore. The logo adds nothing useful to the wiki and is quite distracting. I've taken a look at the solr website and at the bottom it says:
Apache and the Apache feather logo are trademarks of The Apache
Software Foundation. Apache Lucene, Apache Solr and their respective
logos are trademarks of the Apache Software ...

Well, just because tags can survive without wikis doesn't mean that it's okay to just delete them if they already exist.
If a tag doesn't have a wiki (or it doesn't have a good one), it typically means that it's not a very popular tag and so no one has enough invested in it to put forth the effort to create a wiki.
If I'm an editor looking at that edit, ...

I don't think you'll find much traction with any "force the users to..." suggestion. Heck, they won't even force users to choose a name when registering ;) I think a lot of users don't even know they CAN choose a name.
There's also the fact that users simply won't read, even if you put things in blinking red lights. See ...

Many tags may start out with few questions and followers; don't take the current question and follower count as an indication of the usefulness of a tag wiki!
Yes, you should stop using that rejection reason. If a tag wiki edit follows the guidelines and leads to a tag wiki that tells the reader what to use the tag for, then the edit is helpful and should ...

http://www.cprogramming.com wouldn't load
None of these looked like the product of an academic or a generous community member who wants to provide a good C resource without filling it with advertisements.
I don't know what happend to the www subdomain, but http://cboard.cprogramming.com/ is a very nice C/C++ programming community that can deliver ...

Wiki/tag excerpt reviews serve two major purposes:
Making sure the edit is not against policy (mostly, making sure it's not a copy/paste of copyrighted material)
Making sure the edit is consistent with the purpose of the tag.
The former can be done by anyone, tag specific knowledge is irrelevant. The latter can be done better by tag readers.
If all ...

I wouldn't call it a one-dimensional array. I'm pretty sure a series doesn't always need to be an array.
Does it need to be homogeneous?
I don't think mentioning types are necessary.
Is it very different from a sequence (possible synonym)?
It shouldn't contain language-specific things, at the very least not in the excerpt, or they should be clearly ...

First off, I agree with you that as it currently stands the series tag as a catch all for these very different meanings for data-processing, mathematics, and other data structures, is not ideal.
However, Personally, this is the first I've heard series used in the context of data-processing languages, and I can't recall seeing it used in conjunction with the ...

status-bydesign
There is no HTML markup in the excerpts by design.
Excerpts are short descriptions of the tag: they are not meant for clicking on another link since they are just short descriptions that you read to get an idea of what the tag is about.
Reference links should be placed in the full tag wiki, which is located at ...

You don't have enough reputation to directly edit tag wikis without approval. That privilege isn't given to you until you reach 20,000 reputation. So, you attempting to Improve a suggested edit on a tag wiki would itself create another suggested edit. If you have improvements to make, you have to wait until that one is either approved or rejected.
At 20,000 ...
